I really wish it was a forced abandon. It seems that many times the account owner just can't log in anymore, and the account(s) just silently rot until they eventually auto-delete. The problem I have with that approach is that the cheater tells his alliance mates--or they just see the inactivity on their roster--and so they reap the rewards of the advanced resources and then the towns themselves.

The accounts should either be visibly abandoned, or else insta-vaporized.

Maybe not deleted instantly, but there should definitely be some sort of marker to show what's happened...

Not only would this allow people to go after the towns of suspended accounts but if there were a lot of them they would act as a deterrent as people could see around them evidence that the rules are not to be messed with.

I think making a public example of people is what the devs are trying to avoid. Probably a commendable notion. I just think it has to be balanced against letting the culprit's buddies benefit from the secret information. The (Abandoned) tag is generally what sets the scavengers in motion towards the warehouse with thieves.
